²² For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:

²⁰ Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

¹⁷ Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;

¹³ And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

² In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

³ For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.

⁸ From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

² For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

³ But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

²³ Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

³⁷ And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

²⁰ In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

²⁴ For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.
